Free-flow Dinners: Restaurants Offering Unlimited Drink Deals

Drink up!

Hong Kong is known for it’s family lunches and free-flow brunches, but dinner options with unlimited drink deals are often overlooked. We’re never ones to say “no” to a good offer, so we’ve rounded up the troops to lay some of the best boozy bargains out on the table. Yes, it goes without saying that it may be best to leave the littles at home for this one! Whether you’re planning a special occasion dinner with your S.O, a reunion dinner with old friends, or just looking for an excuse to treat yourself to a healthy amount of red wine, we’ve lined up some of our favourite spots to get the job done.

Well hello, free-flow red wine, the pleasure is mine. At $139 for two hours, this offer is a frequent Friday night spot for Team Sassy. Set in the style of a New York bistro, with blackboards and timber flooring, this place is bursting with atmosphere. Plus, the food is so good (get the calamari) that there are often people sprawling out onto the street. To counteract the alcohol and calamari, all the vegetables are freshly home grown and mixed into an array of all our favourite dishes. Keep up that healthy precedence by ordering the Parmesan cheese bowl – this is where the magic happens (i.e. where spaghetti is tossed in an abundant amount of hot, gooey cheese).

This place is a favourite for a reason. If you’re not heading over for the Super Mondays deal (where you get buy one get one on main courses), the free-flow dinner option is tempting as always. Starting at $250 for two hours, the offer includes house spirits, house wine, beers, soft drinks and juices, still and sparkling water, plus a selection of tea and coffee. That’s the equivalent of you paying for (roughly!) two glasses of wine and a cup of tea. It’s no surprise we leave this place stuffed and satisfied.

Zuma’s night brunch, Yashoku, has been drawing the crowds in for the past three months with live performances, fresh flavours and top-quality booze.

For $500, you can enjoy free flow sake, seasonal infused sochu and beers. At $650, you upgrade to also get free flow Veuve Clicquot and sake. Pairing that with food?

The Chef’s Menu ($450 per person, available for groups of seven and above) offers an extensive selection of dishes, with an optional additional $200 for free-flow.

Editor’s Note: Offer no longer available. 

This small, local, lovable spot epitomises “cheap and cheerful”. Though we’ve yet to check it out for ourselves, the deal of unlimited food and drinks for $60 (yes, that’s Hong Kong dollars) has placed it at the top of our list. With local Chinese dishes, lots of vegetarian alternatives, and unlimited beer, it’s no surprise this place has raving reviews. Low-key and overflowing with energy, we hear Mr Wong himself is friendly, welcoming, and hilarious – with a goal to make sure everyone in his presence has enough to eat and drink. Oh, and it’s a convenient 3-minute walk from Langham Place.

Top Tip: There’s even an option to buying your own seafood and ask the owner to cook it!
